"We signed the agreement because [the case] has to be closed somehow and the agreement reached is still a recognition of responsibility. Six months of trial would have been a torment and, moreover, with a wide margin of uncertainty, because all possibilities were open, from complete acquittal to complete conviction." This is the justification that Enric Chulio, former president of the Association of Victims of the Metro Accident of July 3, 2006, gave to ARA minutes before entering the room where the sentence has been delivered, which has convicted four former executives and acquitted four others. The association has finally joined the agreement signed last week between the Prosecutor's Office and the defenses of the eight defendants, and has allowed the conclusion of a process opened 14 years ago.
